Marking territories

Don't throw out those orange and lemon peels, or the skins from juiced citrus. Place them in the areas around your home and garden that you would rather the neighbourhood cats not “mark” as their territory. Apparently they don't like the lovely scent of citrus scent and it repels them.

This is my record of the daily challenges the Armstrong family faces as we live life the Cheapskates way - debt free, cashed up and laughing - and try to stay that way.

Here I talk about the little things I do that save us a lot of money and the bigger things that may only save a small amount. I share the things that work for us and the things that don't. I say it as I see it, so if I try something and think it's a dud, I'll tell you. And if I try something and it works, I'll share it with you.

You'll get an insight into a very frugal family living a very comfortable 21st Century lifestyle and I hope it encourages and inspires you as you make your journey to living life the Cheapskates way.
